2. Context is important Consultancy company
Clients agile maturity makes a big impact
What works for one might not work for another
Don’t always follow the same steps for every project
Disclaimer alert
Tried impact mapping

4. Simon Sinek’s golden circle

5. Product vision – the reason why you are doing the project.

6. First persona mentioned is usually the Executive, which might hint that there is a decision maker who is pulling strings further up. Try to get them to Sprint Reviews for better feedback.

7. CIO didn’t like this, said budget is a car they expect a car chassis

9. Incremental was labelled bad
Being both iterative and incremental is best

14. Perfect plan doesn’t exist
Perfect plan doesn’t exist. Its better to start with an imperfect plan than to not start at all.

18. Play Games to split up the session
Again depends on agile maturity or the seriousness of the client
Games are great at teaching agile concepts very quickly
Freshens up the workshop and gets people moving
A game is as good as a break
A great game I always try to fit in is the Coin Game

19. Iteration 0 Let the architects start architecting
Let the UX-ers produce some mockups
Let the designers get a feel for how it will look
Let the developers have a think about the unknowns
Let the Scrum Master train the Product Owner
Then re-look at the Storymap and create the Backlog
